Retreat Center

Built in 1890 as a Carmelite Novitiate, St. John the Baptist Retreat Center has been completely restored. Its uniqueness will help make your stay with us both prayerful and Spirit-filled. That has been the experience of the many hundreds who have come to experience the living God and go home renewed.

Our Mission Statement

St. John the Baptist Parish is a Catholic Christian Community centered in rural New Baltimore, Pennsylvania. As members of the Body of Christ, we seek to live as entrusted stewards using God’s gifts responsibly, intelligently, prudently, and gratefully to bring about his kingdom. As stewards of our time, talents, possessions, and faith, we are called to put our lives in proper focus and to live in accord with one another giving love and caring support; to accept Christ’s challenge as related in the Gospels – to serve one another.

“I am the light of the world.
He who follows me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”

John 8:12
